Abstract

Objective To assess the prevention and control measures in communities, in order to optimize the response and adaptation strategies to dengue fever. Methods From April to June 2014, stakeholders analysis were conducted through personal interviews and focus groups in Liwan, Yuexiu, Haizhu, and Baiyun districts of Guangzhou. There were 93 participants which from general public, patients, staffs from CDC, hospital, municipal administration (Patriotic Health Campaign Committee), disinfection station, and neighborhood committee. Results Outbreak sites with high density of population were surrounded with vector breeding and habitats. The top-down approaches were used in communities. There were knowledge gaps between prevention institutions and patients. Community dengue prevention mainly depend on neighborhood committee and less on residents' participation. Indoor vector surveillance results were inaccurate and was curbed in process. Early case detection and response were affected by fee charge system and cognitive level of Health staffs. There was little effect of insecticide using in communities. Conclusion Sustainable integrated response strategies should be established in high risk areas including epidemic surveillance, early warning, motivating residents to participate in community integrated vector management, and conducting insecticide space-spraying for emergence response.
